This is btw a reason to be careful about scrambling the French Fighter. It makes the French turns more dull than they are anyway. After 10 rounds one feels really sorry not having this little chappy hopping around anymore:D

:-) I often take the chance of hitting a German plane or two with it, so I don’t miss having it hopping around because I’m not used to having it anyway  :-P

[gamerman01]

Well, with 90% odds I will be taking AA off first of course, so never mind
Unless I get some unthinkably bad roll, I should be able to assume

[gamerman01]

Really crazy dice.  Extremely good for you, and then extremely good for me, but round 1 matters so much more as you know.

Anyway, I need you to choose 10 casualties for round 2.  Don’t know whether to take off artillery or mech

[gamerman01]

Never mind.  Noticed that 9 of them were infantry, so no biggie, I took off artillery and continued.

Lucky for me after round 1 it went very well for me, but losing 5 aircraft was 4 more than the median.  It happens.  Good enough, at least I didn’t lose.

It was hard not to retreat after round 1.

@Gamerman01:

I must have overlooked something significant. I guess I missed a can opener territory, I certainly did not give you 90% on purpose :/

[gamerman01]

As we discussed, you are allowing me to sink the transport off East Russia, late
Not used to having a German bomber in Japan

[JDOW]

Oh dear, losing Moscow with you not even fully pressurizing it is a big disappointment and the worst cooler in that game. There was no crucial need to loosen the defense to that degree. Of course it would have been nice to plug Caucasus and Volgograd for a while but not for that price. I got too greedy and made a calculation mistake but will never find out what I overlooked. I certainly had the Moscow attack not even close to 90% :(

Changed my mind about Volgo, don’t see a reason to expose it to the Jap Mech.

Funny “J A P” gets censored? Is this a real insult?

Yeah, considered by some.
Where I’m from, it’s not considered racist or demeaning, but apparently in some places it is

Just a note. When I am trying to repair the airbase in India tripleA kind of forces me to spend UK money to do so. Is this a bug? I cannot repair the airfield with UK Pac money.

[gamerman01]

Yes, you will need to edit the cash on hand for UK and Pacific to correct it.

I had this issue identified as #10, but edited it to make it more accurate (before, it was only noted that London paid for India repairs when India was in Axis hands, but you have found that Triple A has London pay for repairs even when India is UK controlled)
